🎆 NEW YEAR’S EVE PET SAFETY! 🎆
NYE can be stressful (and dangerous!) for pets — here’s what to watch out for:

🍾 Alcohol & Party Food
Keep drinks and snacks out of reach. Toxic foods include chocolate, onions/garlic, raisins, macadamia nuts & cooked bones.

💥 Fireworks
Bring pets indoors early, close curtains, pop on TV/music and make a cozy safe space. Double-check microchip & ID details, this helps identify your pet asap if they do escape.

🪩 Noise & Parties
Visitors, loud music and sudden noise can overwhelm pets — give them a quiet room to relax.

🎉 Decorations & Rubbish
Tinsel, confetti, glow sticks & food packaging are all tempting (and dangerous). Keep rubbish secure.

🔥 Candles & Sparklers
Burns happen easily — keep flames well away from curious noses and paws.

💊 Bags & Medications
Guests’ bags can contain meds, vapes or foods pets shouldn’t access. Keep them shut and out of reach.

If you need advice or calming products before fireworks start, contact us — we’re open until 12pm on the 31st. Any medication should be ordered by 29/12/25 💙🐾

🎄 Day 12 of 12: Cooked Bones – A Festive Favourite, but Dangerous for Pets! 🍗🚫

As tempting as it is to share a bit of your Christmas dinner with your pets, cooked bones are one of the most dangerous things they can get hold of.

❌ Why Cooked Bones Are a Risk
They splinter easily – Cooked bones become brittle and can break into sharp fragments.
Choking hazard – Even small pieces can lodge in the throat.
Internal damage – Splinters can tear the stomach or intestines, causing internal bleeding or blockages.
Emergency surgery is often needed in severe cases.

🍗 Common Christmas Offenders
Turkey bones
Chicken bones
Lamb bones
Ham bones
Basically any bone that’s been cooked — even if it looks big and solid.

💡 Keep Pets Safe This Christmas
Put leftovers straight in a secure bin.
Keep plates out of reach.
Remind guests not to sneak scraps to pets.
Offer safe alternatives such as vet-approved chews or a small amount of their usual treats.

🎅 A Safer Christmas Treat
If you want them to join the fun, give a small portion of their normal food or pet-safe treats ( NO RAW HIDE!). They’ll love it just as much — and stay safe!

🐾 Day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas Pet Risks – Cold Weather & Antifreeze ❄️

As the temperature drops, winter brings a few extra hidden hazards for our pets. Day 11 is all about cold weather and antifreeze – two things we see far too often in practice at this time of year.

❄️ Antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol)
Antifreeze is highly toxic to cats and dogs, and the scary part is how sweet it tastes, meaning pets may lick it from driveways, garage floors, or even snow globes if they break.
⚠️ Just a teaspoon can be fatal for cats.
⚠️ Even small amounts can cause kidney failure in dogs.
Look out for: wobbliness, vomiting, excessive thirst, or lethargy.

If you think your pet has ingested antifreeze, contact a vet immediately – early treatment is absolutely crucial.

❄️ Cold Weather Risks
Winter itself brings its own challenges:
-Gritted roads and rock salt can irritate and burn paw pads
-Snow and ice can hide sharp objects
-Hypothermia risk for small, elderly or short-coated pets
-Arthritis flare-ups are very common in the cold

Top Tips:
-Wipe paws after walks
-Keep pets warm and dry
-Avoid leaving pets outside in freezing temperatures
-Store antifreeze and de-icer products well out of reach

Winter walkies are magical, but keeping our furry friends safe makes them even better ❤️🐶🐱

📦🎄 Festive Medication Reminder 🎄📦

To make sure your pets have all the medications they need over the Christmas period, please remember:
➡️ The last date to order meds and receive them by 23/12/24 is TODAY (20th December.)
If this means you’ll be ordering your pet’s medication a little earlier than usual — don’t worry! Early requests will still be sanctioned. We’d much rather you order in advance than risk running short over the festive break.

Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly so every pet stays safe, healthy and comfortable this Christmas ❤️🐾

🎄 Day 10 of our 12 risks of Christmas – What’s in the Kitchen Can Hurt Pets!

As we get closer to the big day, the kitchen gets busier — and so do the hidden dangers for our pets! A lot of classic Christmas ingredients are toxic to cats and dogs, even in small amounts.

🧅 Onions, Garlic, Leeks & Shallots
-All part of the allium family.
-Can cause damage to red blood cells, leading to anemia.
-Found in stuffing, gravy, sausage meat, roast veggies, and seasoning mixes.
Pets don’t need to eat much for it to be harmful — even powdered forms count!

🍞 Stuffing
Usually contains onion or garlic, high salt, butter, and sometimes sausage meat.
Delicious for us, dangerous for pets.

🧂 Seasonings & Salt
Christmas food is much saltier than everyday meals.
Too much salt can cause vomiting, tremors, or worse.

🐖 Fatty Meats & Trimmings
Turkey skin, pork crackling, gravy and pan fats can trigger pancreatitis.
Even a “tiny treat” can cause a painful vet trip.

🍗 Bones
Cooked bones can splinter and cause choking or internal damage.
Never give Christmas leftovers with bones.

🎁 Other Common Christmas Kitchen Dangers
Alcohol (even in sauces or desserts)
Uncooked dough (yeast rises in the stomach)
Herbs like sage (okay in tiny amounts but often mixed with harmful ingredients)
Cranberry sauces with added sugar or alcohol

Time is of the essence, if you believe your pet has ingested something toxic, think S.P.E.E.D.- contact your vet immediately.

🎄 Day 9 of 12 Christmas Risks – Decorations 🎄
Tinsel, string, ribbons, stockings, gift bags… all the fun-looking things that pets absolutely shouldn’t eat!

A lot of Christmas decorations might seem harmless, but they can cause serious problems if swallowed:

✨ String, ribbons, tinsel & garlands
These can travel through the intestines like a “saw”, causing painful blockages that often need surgery. Cats especially LOVE to play with (and eat!) stringy things.

🧦 Stockings & fabric bits
Chewed-up stockings, Santa hats, soft toys or knitted decorations can cause choking or gut blockages.

🎁 Silica gel packets
Those little “DO NOT EAT” sachets pets always seem to find. They can cause choking or stomach upset — and pets often swallow the whole packet.

🪅 Baubles & ornaments
Plastic ones can splinter, and glass ones can shatter and cut paws, mouths, and tummies if eaten.

🧵 Hooks, ties & wire
Sharp bits that can pierce the mouth, tongue, or stomach.

A good rule:
If it dangles, sparkles, rustles, or rolls… your pet thinks it’s theirs.
Keep decorations out of reach, secure your tree, and keep an eye on the little troublemakers this festive season.
